Camden County does not regulate light spilling onto a neighbor's property. Light-trespass and glare limits are set by municipal zoning ordinances under New Jersey's Municipal Land Use Law. Persistent glare may also be a private nuisance you can address in court.
Light trespass, where outdoor lighting spills across a property line, is addressed through municipal lighting and nuisance ordinances in New Jersey under the Municipal Land Use Law (N.J.S.A. 40:55D), not by Camden County. Where a town has standards, they typically limit illumination at the property line and may require shielded, downward-directed fixtures. Absent a specific ordinance, excessive glare onto neighboring property can also be pursued as a private nuisance under New Jersey common law. Start by contacting your municipal zoning or code office, then, if unresolved, consult about a nuisance claim.
Municipal code enforcement handles ordinance-based glare limits. Where no ordinance applies, remedies are through a private nuisance claim rather than county enforcement.
